My Mission

Align cross-functional teams of engineering, design, compliance, and program management on research-led and customer-focused software projects.

User-centered design and engineering

On a quest to understand why we build the thing, how we build the thing, and how we build the thing affects other people.

Background

I have more than 18 years experience leading digital projects specializing in working across engineering, design, and product management for digital products and sites.

For more than 9 years, I have had the privilege of leading accessibility and design system initiatives at Salesforce that enable the organization to craft a consistent experience delivering legal compliance, customer value, and market impact.

While I’m not actively exploring new opportunities, I would love to talk about your next big idea. Give me a shout!
